no point does the power of govern ment affect more constantly and in- timately, all the realities of life, than through the exactions made under it.
 "This P ower of taxation is ground ed upon the great law of self-pres- erVation; it is inherent in the right of the sovereignty to exist It is unbridled, except by the consciences of legislators, unless they have as we have already observed, clearly abused the taxing power by seek ing to make 1t applicable to inn proper subjects, or by extending to a degree beyond the limits of legit- innate taxation, into the realms of tyranny and oppression; unless this should be the case, their re- sponsibility to their constituents Is the only safeguard the people have from the burdensomc and arbitrary use of the taxing power. Unless, therefore, clear case of the tyran- nical and oppressive use of the taxing power is presented, We think it improper, and indeed incompe- tent for the judicial department to inquire as to what limit or how un- equally tile taxing power of the government may be legitimately used, or what degree of taxation shall be considered an abuse of the taxing power There can be no doubt of tie far reach of this great attribute of governmental sover- eighty. It is like the fabled tent, it may be folded and confined within the narrow limits of the compass of q small town or village, and yet it may be stretched until it covers the entire realm. We are of the op.n- ion, therefore, that the demurrers should be overruled and the de- fendants required to answer; and it is so ordered.

THE following plain and unvar- nished statement of the Indian sit uation, which We clip from the Prescott Courier, comes as near the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, as anything we have seen written on the subject. The authorities at Washington should
 lay aside sentiment in dealing with this question, and afford the whites some of the protection and sym pathy that has been so lavishly ex- pended on these fendish brutes. The Courier says: "Some of the pa pers of Southern Arizona talk as if all trouble with the Apaches was at an end. We hope they are right. They are praising Gen. Miles for quick work in subduing the late revolt. If it is subdued he is enti- tied to praise for having done his duty we'll; but is every thing 0. K. on the reservation? We do not think go. We have knowledge of Indians that puts different phase upon their status. There are White

A SPECIAL to the Tombstone Epi- taph from Wilcox says Gen. Miles has just arrived from San Carlos. He states that the last one of the renegade Apaches are in the guard house, and he further stated that the Indians who instigated the diff ficulty would be turned over to the civil authorities for trial. The Gen. eral stated that great many of the Yuma Indians on the reserva- tion have become very much dis satisfied, and ask to be sent to the Colorado river at Yuma. They say that they do mot want-to work on the San Carlos reservation, also that a Yuna Indian was the srile csuse of the late outbreak, aud that he wiil be turned over to the civil

THE people of the county woul

THE people of the county would not be very greatly surprised to learn of the truth surrounding the robbing of the Treasurer's safe some eighteen months ago, and while the whole matter has never appeared an enigma. that amount of evidence necessary to corral the perpetrators has scarcely yet been obtained. A man may steal and plunder and continue such, forcing a resp .ctable community to con- slider him honest, which he Is pre- sumed to be until such time as he may be caught and proven to the contrary. And here is our dilem- ma-no one has any doubt, nor ever has had, as to the party or parties who got the money. The dozen horses, sheep-sklns and star less night, in all its significant darkness, has not been able to pre- vent the detection. We feel sorry for the 6ondsmen who have sooner or later to go down into their pock- cts and make good this loss to the county. But such must be done, and while this is being executed we hope the bondsmen may find suffi- cient evidence to bring to justice the man or men, who only want q sheep-skin and a rainy night to carry off $i1, 900, with forethought enough to leave behind $7,000 in checks.

THE Tombstone Cattle Associa- ton held a called meeting in Tomb stone on the 22d ult., to take some decisive steps toward the organiza- ton of a Territorial Association. They discussed the advisability and necessity of such reorganization with ability and at considerable length, after which committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Abbott, Fourr and Vickers was appointed to solicit at once the corporation of all other Associations Tn the Territory, in contributing pro rata the necessary funds to open a trail northward. Another committee was also appointed consisting ot Messrs. Tevis, Monk and Bruce to correspond with the other local Cattle Associations of this Terri tory, with view of obtaining their co-cperation in organizing Terri torial Association, composed of representatives from each Associa- ton, and report the result, if prac- tical, at the meeting of the Asso- citation in July.

Mountain and Coyctere Apaches who fairly worship Geronimo, and who have tried to strike terror into white men by telling them ot the prowess of the Chiricahuas, and that they wefo Chiricahuas, too. Indians we speak of have very lit tie respect for the United States government. Wagons given them by government are left unused :; some of them have been burned. Mir. Apache has not yet fully de- cided to change his mode of life. He is yet an unreconstructed say age; an urpunished murderer, a cordial hater of white men and their methods. All these things we know and can prove. It therefore becomes our duty to advise people of the exposed settlements to be on their guard. Again. we urge the authorities to do their duty. The Apache cannot be civilized not, at least, in a mountain region like Arizona; so, if his friends really desire to do him service, they will unite with the people of Arizona and work for his removal to some level country. Let them neglect to do this and Arizonians will know what to do."

ACCORDING to the Citizen Albu- ouerque has had another jail de- livery, and from the published ac- count, it was owing to gross care lessness or negligence on the part of the iailor. Two prisoners, Chas. Ross and Ulysses Buoy, charged with attempting to wreck train on the Atlantic and Pacific road, made good their escape. Sheriff Perea, it is said, feels very much mortified at this escape, and will use every effort to recapture the fugitives

A VERY effective method has been pursued in Apache county, for a long tune past, which has made stealing lucrative as well as per fectly safe business. The method pursued, we thought, had become we'll known to all, but it seems it is not. It is no trouble for man to steal horse, and it is far less trou- ble for him to say, when caught with horse belonging to some one else, that he bought the horse from a man on the Staked Plains, or from some other man, who from the force of habit, had shuffied off this mortal coil so long ago, that his epitapl droopsd in wearineSs as the sole survivor of his remem- brance. There never has been any trouble in proving the COW or horse was bought-numerOus witnesses will ascend the stand with uplifted hands and heads, and swear they were present when the purchase was made-but never has an instance yet been recorded where the man or woman from whom the horse was bought, has lived nearer than 800 miles to the county, if alive, in which condition they could sel- dom be expected It is to be re- gretted that these matters are not better looked into by the judges in preliminary trials. A man who knowingly buys a stolen horse is as guilty as the man who does the stealing, and if these horses are proven to be bought, the purchasers should be made to find the seller
 for it cannot be presumed that all of such purchases are made with out any knowledge on the part ot the purchaser as to the sellers ti' tie. Such flimsy and sensational defences require but little consider, ation in order to clearly perceive their true character and nature.

Tue Albuquerque Citizen says |: James Mclaughlin, indicted for the murder of Tobins K;nsley, of Kings ton, who was recently allowed to give bail in the sum of $25,OOO, has skipped" presumably to Mex leo. He had been confined in the Sierra county jail since last Feb ruary. He was interested in some of the Kingston mines, and after the amount of his bond was fixed, soon arranged matters with his partners, who put up $16,000 of the amount in cold cash. Soon af- ter Mclaughlin had given his bond Judge Henderson discovered that the court had been imposed upon in the matter, and from Santa Fe issued a bench warrant for the re- arrest of the young man. In the meantime Mclaughlin had gotten himself up in genuine desperado style. His person was adorned with two ivory-handled 45's, while q repeating rifle swung in its scab- bard on his saddle. Mounted on a magnificent horse, and thus armed he rode out of Kingston about an hour before the bench warrant ar rived. It is thus that the ends of justice are often defeated. He has probably turned over his mining property to his bondsmen, and will be seen no more in these parts.

 The case of the Territory vs. Ro- bert Cornell, involving the legality of the liquor license law of the last session of the Legislature, came before the District Court of Yava- pal county, on appeal from the Jus tices' Court. The defendant filed a demurrer in the case alleging that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and secondly, That the pre- ended act, or statute law, of the 14th Legislative Assembly, of the Territory of Arizona, on which this action is based, and tor the viola ton of which this prosecution is had, Is null and void for the req sons: First, that said pretended statute law was not passed by the said Legislative Assembly iii the manner required by the law gov erning the Legislative Assembly of said Territory in the enactment and passage of valid laws; And second, that said p.etended Legislative en- actment is illegal, in violation of the Constitution and laws of the United States, the organic act of said Territory, and the statute laws of said Territory, in this: That it purports to be law of 8 general nature, and that by it's terms and requirements it does not, nor can 1t, have q uniform operation in said Territory, but is unequal. not uni form, ,bu: partial and discriminating in its operation, and therefore void.
 Judge Wright filed an able opin- ion in this case, in the course of which he says:
 "Courts will not assume 10 inter- fcre with the discretion of the tax ing power, in imposing different burdens upon persons following the same business occupations, but un- der different circumstances and sur roundings, unless a glaring abuse of that discretion be apparent. Be- sides, the law is well settled that d mere license, to follow any particu- lar business occupation, is not a tax in the constitutional sense; and hence the rules, as to uniformity and equality, are less rigid and i'm perative in their application, al- though the imposition of such a tax involves an exercise of the tax iIS pO"SA'
 pursuits-the occupation of liquor dealers-may be prohibited alto gether, unless restricted by the or ganic law, by the inherent power of State and Territorial governments, on the grounds that they are per nicious and detrimental to public morals.
 INT. Cooley, in his great work on constitutional limitations, at the beginning of Chapter 14, uses this strong language on the subject "The power to impose taxes is so limited in force and so searching in extent that the courts scarcely venture to declare that it is subject to any restrictions whatever, except such as rest in the discretion of the authority which exercises it. It reaches to every trade or occupa- ton, to every object of industry, use or enjoyment; to every species of possession; and it imposes a burden which, in case of failure to discharge it. may be followed by seizure and sale or confscation of property. No attribute of sover- eighty is more Fcrvading, and at

The Country Man i'm Town.

The bloated city man who is surfeit-
ed with pleasure, who has seen almost
every thing in the way of art that can
be got, is apt to sit upon things that
simple people enjoy. We may have
seen tableaux and stage pictures and
heard opera and ballad under the most
brilliant auspices, and we look down
upon the cheaper exhibitions of that
nature as unhOly. This isn't fair. The
granger who comes to town weeps
over the sentimental ballad of the dive
songstress and thinks the living pictures
of serious beauty and grave and earn
est purpose. He has emotions and
they are exercised, and he does not
see the vice we pirate about, until per-
haps he goes back home with an empty
wallet. They had a series of living
pictures at very cheap place of
entertainment once and II gray-headed
stranger from the most rural district
wandered into the show. He was pro-
foundry touched as the most striking of
pictures were presented by ladies in
blonde tresses of straw, with big red
hands and arms and hard-set faces.
But they were lovely to him. At last
the tableau was announced of 1.-The
Maiden's Prayer" by Miss Daisy
Mashe. The fair maiden with black
ened eyelashes, painted eyebrows, and
colored cheeks knelt in an attitude of
devotion. The piano played the IA
miliar air and the old granger was
almost weeping when the maiden gave
a visible wink to man on the front
bench. Then the old man in the
silence of the audience and through the
music said in an emphatic
whisper:
'Fll bet a dollar she amt sincere"
